Facing life’s challenges? I offer compassionate, judgment-free guidance to help you regain balance and clarity. My counseling approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, integrating evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I prioritize emotional safety, collaboration, and practical coping skills to support meaningful and lasting change. Together, we will move at a pace that feels right for you, building resilience, clarity, and confidence as you move forward.
My specialties include supporting individuals experiencing a range of anxiety-related challenges. This can include high-functioning burnout, loss of purpose, navigating life transitions, or the stress of parenting and relationships. I also work with clients managing anxiety alongside symptoms of ADHD, depression, trauma and adverse childhood experiences.
Please reach out if you think that I may be able to help you! I offer a free 15-minute consultation to answer any questions that you have about the counseling process.
